Athletics at the 2000 Summer Olympics - Men's 4 x 400 metre relay

Athletics at the 2000 Summer Olympics - Men's 4 x 400 metre relay

The 4 x 400 metres relay races at the 2000 Summer Olympics as part of the athletics program were held on September 29 and September 30.

The United States, with Alvin Harrison, Antonio Pettigrew, Calvin Harrison and Michael Johnson, originally won the gold medal. On July 18 2004, the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) ruled that Jerome Young was ineligible to compete in Sydney and annulled all his past results, including those achieved as part of relay teams. Young had competed for the USA team in the heats and semi-final of this event. Therefore, the United States team was stripped of the gold medal and Nigeria, Jamaica, and the Bahamas were moved up one position each.

In June 2008, Antonio Pettigrew "admitted in court he cheated to win" by using banned performance-enhancing substances, and agreed to return his gold medal. [ [http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/othersports/2004455894_digs04.html "Antonio Pettigrew agrees to return relay gold medal"] , "Seattle Times", June 4, 2008] Michael Johnson announced that he would return his own gold medal, won as part of the relay team with Pettigrew. Johnson stated that he felt "cheated, betrayed and let down" by what Pettigrew had done at the Games.
